> As we're sure you're aware, poverty and economic hardship are  
> widespread in Tompkins County and upstate New York. Its extent and  
> severity is often hidden from the minds of our government officials  
> and community decision makers. To help inform the people who set  
> policy and to educate the public about these issues, the Tompkins  
> County Workers' Center is collaborating with Cornell University  
> Professor of Development Sociology, Tom Hirschl, to better recover  
> information and get the word out via an online survey (which the  
> Workers' Center is also using by going to places where people  
> congregate whose economic human rights are most likely being  
> violated). You can take the survey by going to:

> If you are a human service agency that works with a good amount of  
> people who are in poverty, and/or otherwise suffering from economic  
> human rights violations, and would be open to either administering  
> the short survey *or* allowing someone from the Workers' Center show  
> up at your worksite, please let us know!

> The survey results will be used for education about poverty,  
> economic hardship, and to further educate the larger upstate New  
> York community about the multitude of economic human rights  
> violations. Economic human rights are embodied throughout the  
> Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was passed by the United  
> Nations in 1948, with specific economic emphasis found in Articles  
> 23 through 26. More specific information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights
